Jeremy McConnell planning love tattoo

Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell are planning matching tattoos after realising they can’t live without each other

The lovebirds met while they were shooting Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year (16), with sparks flying while Stephanie was technically still dating model Sam Reece. They have now left the house and although things have been bumpy, they feel ready to cement their love with a permanent inking.

“We’re booked in to get new tattoos this week in Dublin,” the former Hollyoaks actress told Britain’s OK! magazine. “We’re getting the Oasis lyric: ‘Maybe you’re the same as me, we see things they’ll never see.’

“It really represents everything we went through in the Big Brother house. Jeremy’s going to get it around his leg and I might get it on my arm. I’m going to get his name, too.”

Things haven’t been easy for the pair, who briefly called time on their relationship in February (16). Stephanie later explained they split due to a misunderstanding over a text message – Jeremy thought she had ended things when she hadn’t – and she’s now opened up more about what happened.

“I was in floods of tears for two days in my hotel room,” the 22-year-old star said. “We’ve been living in each other’s pockets. We literally can’t be without each other; it’s ridiculous. In a good way, obviously.

“Jeremy told me that he loved me and couldn’t live without me. We decided to put it all behind us and give things another go. The whole situation made me more sure than ever that Jeremy is the one for me – I know now that I can’t be without him.”

Stephanie and Jeremy initially cancelled an appearance on talk show Loose Women when they briefly split, although they rescheduled and spoke about their relationship with the the hosts last week (ends26Feb16). Katie Price is one of the panel, and it seems she and Stephanie really hit it off.

“Katie is my kind of girl, she’s got such good banter,” she said. “We’ve met a few times before and we’ve been private messaging on Twitter so hopefully we’ll hang out soon.

“Perhaps me and Jeremy will go on a double date with her and Kieran (Hayler, Katie’s husband)!”
